I should have added, being a "Technical Preview" it is an Alpha with pretty words instead. If it doesn't run now it most likely will by the final, or first service pack.

I see the power of the dollar and customer complaints have worked for the first time in M$ history, the start menu is back. I wonder how much that was ripped out of 8/8.1 is back. Of course, these things will be "New Features" even though most had been around since Windows 95 or 3/3.11.

For once it actually looks like this OS is "more productive" as they say for every release, at least compared to Win8x and people with very short memories. I got a empty partition on the guinea pig and everything else is backed up or imaged, maybe I'll give 10 a look.

One thing I really do not like about 8x/10 is the having to sign into a MS account to download the software that used to be on the thing in the first place, and then have to be signed in to use it. I did not read the EULA (as most don't) for 8.1, if it is as scary as the one for this technical preview, it's not a good sign of things to come. It should not be allowed.
